Donation

I would like to create something for something. That is I would like us to come up with a glass object that would be unique and fairly easy and market it specific for donation to a cause, which cause tho too?

I am working on the schedule for Paseo. We will be working at the festival all weekend in the booth. Another group of folks will be working in the studio all weekend. I am not sure when so it would not hurt to call but feel free to drop by.

Scam

I got a call yesterday from a Transcription service for the hard of hearing/deaf. The transcription service dictates information between callers. They called from (786) 709-9175 which seems to be a ligitiment service. The caller on the other end wants to place an order at the studio for over $2000 and pay by Credit Card. The Caller has email at mrs_nicole50@yahoo.com and a Seattle WA address. I refused to take a credit card over the phone and the caller hung up. I suspect this is going to become a very common scam. It reminded me of the email scams asking to place an order and running a credit card.

Be aware and be diligent. and remember to

keep it centered

Keep it centered.

This piece was really incredible. Great work by the Booth's.

In the Studio

We are making glass today. Brandon is in at 10 and then Andy will be working around 1. We have a lesson at 3 to 5. Sunday Sparky will fire up about 11 and then a lesson at 1 with the Booth's in at 2. Should be a great weekend.

Interesting series of articles in the Hot Glass Quarterly . Glass blowing as a private artistic matter and glassblowing as a public display. Interesting stuff. I love to watch it being created, it is great to show off for an audience, and I love to figure stuff out when no body is watching. How do you feel?

Have a lovely weekend. Head up to the Stillwater Arts Festival if you have some spare time. and remember to Keep it Centered!
